HESE  INLAID  FLOORS 

have  become  so  thoroughly  established 
as  to  the  plans  of  manufacture  in  5-16' 
and  7-8"  thickness,  and  the  simple 
methods  of  laying  them  on  new  or  old  floors,  that  no 
extended  description  of  the  floors  in  general,  other 
than  the  designs  offered  in  this  book,  is  considered 
necessary. 

IF  YOU  CONTEMPLATE  BUILDING  OR 
REFURNISHING,  it  is  safe  to  consider  that  no 
outlay  will  so  furnish  and  enrich  a  dwelling  as  these 
ornamental  floors. 

HIS  BOOK  OF  DESIGNS,  in 

connection  with  the  Price-List  enclosed, 
will  assist  you  in  making  selection  of 
patterns.  If  you  will  write  us  stating 
the  numbers  opposite  Borders  and  Field  chosen,  with 
size  of  rooms  to  be  covered,  we  will  be  pleased  to 
name  you  estimates  of  cost,  sending  you  drawings 
and  samples  without  charge,  if  returned.

MATERIAL  *  * 

We  employ  in  our  work  the  finest  grades 
of  foreign  and  domestic  hardwoods : 


Oa%,  Cherry,  JWaple,  Mahogany,  J£  & 
Walnut,  B^oseWood,  Sycamore,  Holly, 
Ebony,  Tulip,  “Birch  and  Amaranth. 


Oak  Is  better  adapted  for  floors  than  any  other  wood, 
and  some  of  the  finest  effects  are  produced  by  oak  alone. 

No  stains  whatever  are  used  in  our  work.  Only  the 
natural  woods  are  employed. 

We  use  no  plain  sawed  or  red  oak.  All  our  oak  is 
the  quarter-cut  White.

ATRONS  DESIRING  special 
designs  can,  by  giving  os  full  descrip¬ 
tion  of  the  interior  furnishings,  with 
floor  measurements,  be  offered  special 
floors  to  suit  each  room. 

Rugs  are  now  being  used  extensively  on  account  of 
their  healthfulness  -and  convenience  in  keeping  a  room 
clean  and  free  from  dust.  Our  thin  wood  floors  are 
used  to  great  advantage  in  making  handsome  borders 
and  filling  up  all  the  offsets.  By  arranging  the 
Wood  Border  to  cover  20"  to  36",  the  furniture  can 
be  placed  around  the  room  so  that  a  large  rug  in 
the  center  can  be  easily  removed  for  cleaning. 

Our  floors  are  permanent  and  will  last  a  lifetime. 

UR  LOCATION  in  the  center  of 
the  finest  hardwood  district  of  this 
country,  enables  us  to  serve  our  pa¬ 
trons  to  their  advantage  in  quality  of 
woods  and  prices  charged. 

We  have  our  own  extensive  wholesale  hardwood 
lumber  dealing  as  a  factor  in  producing  our  high  grade 
of  work,  and  can  guarantee  all  we  claim  for  it. 


FINISHING  SUPPLIES. 


We  are  prepared  to  furnish  Weighted  Brushes 
of  our  own  manufacture,  Paste=wood  Filler, 
Hard  Wax  and  Parquet=Lac.

RCHITECTS  and  BUILDERS 
are  invited  to  correspond  with  us. 
Upon  application,  we  will  send  them 
samples  of  our  goods  and  furnish  all 
information  regarding  the  same. 
Architects'  designs  will  be  followed  in  the  most  faith¬ 
ful  manner. 

All  designs  in  this  book  can  be  made  in  either  thin 
or  thick  Parquetry. 

Correspondence  will  be  promptly  replied  to,  and  we 
will  take  pleasure  in  finding  out  and  meeting  all  the 
demands  of  each  case. 

Special  and  new  designs  can  be  offered  those  who 
desire  them,  or  we  will  follow  your  Architect's  draw¬ 
ings  and  specifications. 

OR  PARTIES  who  are  BUILD¬ 
ING,  we  prefer  to  hold  shipment  of 
goods  here  until  they  are  wanted,  ad¬ 
vising  them  that  they  will  be  in  readi¬ 
ness  after  a  certain  date,  rather  than 
risk  their  being  injured  by  damp  storage.  Floors 
should  be  laid  and  finished  as  soon  as  possible  after 
being  received,  and  must  not  be  exposed  to  dampness 
while  in  an  unfinished  state. 

We  send  with  each  shipment  complete  directions 
for  laying  the  floor.  Any  good  carpenter  can  do 
the  work. 

If  you  do  not  care  for  this  book,  kindly  hand  it  to 
some 

CARPENTER  or 
BUILDER, 

Who,  we  feel  sure,  would  be  glad  to  receive  it.
